The roof of your commercial building probably needs to be replaced if you notice any of the following problems:
- Water damage to the interior ceiling or attic
- Bumps or blisters on the rooftop
- Gaps between overlapping seams
- Cracked, curling, or missing shingles (in the case of a shingle roof)
- Evidence of weather-related damage
At Premiere Roofing & Gutters, we specialize in providing commercial roof inspection, replacement, and repair to the people of Charlotte, Hickory, and the surrounding areas. Get in touch with our office today if you need our help.
A closer look at those five warning signs
You should suspect trouble with your roof if you notice any of these issues:
- Water damage to the attic or ceiling – which can take the form of stains, puddles, mold growth, or a strong mildew odor. You may also see sunlight coming through the roof itself.
- Blisters or bumps in the roofing membrane – this problem is usually caused by gases that have built up between the roof’s exterior layer and the sub-roofing.
- Loose seams – commercial roofing membranes like TPO or EPDM are laid out in sections, with overlapping seams along the edges. If those seams are coming apart, then your roof has probably suffered serious damage already.
- Shingle problems – commercial shingles are just as vulnerable to damage as their residential counterparts. You’ll know you have a problem if the shingling is cracked, curled, or has lost its grain.
- Evidence of storm or wind damage – like corroded fasteners, dented panels, or exposed sub-roofing.
Why ignoring these warning signs is not an option
The consequences of ignoring commercial roof damage are too great to risk. Here are just some of the problems you may face unless you take immediate action:
- Electrical fires: due to rain or melted snow coming in contact with the building’s wiring.
- Illnesses or allergy symptoms: caused by germs or allergens spread by contaminated rainwater.
- Partial or total roof collapse: not only can this destroy your building, it can also pose a serious hazard to occupants of the building.
